This is what I was suspecting. There is no option for setting 7, theres an 8 to lock programs but no 7 for parameters. Have a message out to Haas support for how to enable it but now kinda screwed on...

This is what I was suspecting. There is no option for setting 7, theres an 8 to lock programs but no 7 for parameters. Have a message out to Haas support for how to enable it but now kinda screwed on...
I just installed an auger and need to change parameter 209:3 to 1 (Enable chip conveyor) but cant find that anywhere. Seems online I need to change setting 7 to allow parameter changes but setting 7...
Not sure what CNC you're coming from but I just got my VF2 in the garage about 3 months ago. I came from Tormach and couldnt be happier. Did you get WIPS or any other options? It was the only option...
I certainly can "afford" to have a new compressor delivered, but bigger is bigger (duh) and louder than the California air tools compressor. Running the VF2 a few days now I would guess its about 25%...
Yep, the machine is brand new from Haas. Had a thought laying in bed that I should manual activate the spindle air solenoid and see if air comes out of the spindle or stops at the top.
Either...
Looking at the gauge, its sitting at 0psi for the spindle lube. It was that and the fact that its always on that the local Haas support thought it wasnt right. But if they come and say its normal,...
I havent tried M74 (had to even look that one up) but its definitely coming from the spindle bearing area not the tool center. First thing I did was put a tool in thinking that would seal it.
I...
Hey guys,
Im a complete newb to the VMC world and just upgraded my Tormach. While im waiting for HFO to get some training setup Im going through tutorials and whatnot to learn what I can.
...
I was going to mention the front suspension but figured it wasn't a warranted comment. Glad to see you're redesigning what FF did. It would be my one major gripe about the car having seen one in...
I mostly AutoX and a few track days here and there. Wheel to wheel just isnt my thing, dont have the guff to risk my car with someone else hitting me when trying to push things. So Im mostly happy...
The 6000 rpm spindle feels a bit limiting on the TM1 and the 16" of Y-travel is really needed in my case. 12" Wouldn't let me do uprights with the long dimension in the Y-axis and would reduce number...
The 1100 needs both 220v and 110v. 220v runs the spindle and stepper electronics (I think on the latter) and 110 for PC and accessories. 220 needs is pretty low and most houses should be capable of...
I really wish I could keep the Tormach also, I feel really at home controlling it and confident in what it and I can do now. Unfortunately with the race car that I design parts for I just don't have...
I do have it on Craigslist but maybe I need to be open to shipping. Though that does seem pretty difficult considering the weight I guess companies do it with freight on CNCs all the time. Perhaps my...
I'm a bit surprised I haven't had any interest so far. Of course Im sure everyone here already has a machine but thought maybe there were lurkers out there. Anyone have thoughts on other places to...
A life change is letting me upgrade my Tormach to a Haas VF2 quicker than I had anticipated. The short is MSFT shut down our factory and everyone got laid off. So in my downtime looking for a new...
Running a 3/8" or smaller end mill is no big deal other than running up against the HP limit. Its using 2flute 1/2" and 3/4" shear hog where noise is really loud. Like wear ear muffs if youre...
Hey guys, one of my limitations at times is the amount of noise I can make (kid is in bed by the time I can work at night) and Ive noticed in videos of VF2s that they seem to be quite a bit quieter...
Didn't get any answer here so I emailed Kurt directly for an answer. The short is if you bolt them both on the table parts will span both vice's and line up properly. The only downside is the DX6 is...
Reading through probably the same things as you right now comparing DT-1 vs SMM2 vs VF2, the two things that have sorta dropped DT-1 off my list are the spindle and table weight. Specifically on the...
Will be watching this for sure. I modeled my garage a while ago in CAD and added my tormach, a VF2 and minimill to it to compare my space and the minimill is really the one that looks to fit...
Sweet! Will be looking forward to seeing it making chips.
Ive been looking at upgrading my tormach and was wondering why you decided on Minimill over a DT-1 if that was an option for you.
Its a bit hard to tell from their specs page without a bit of interpolation but will one of each line up side by side? Seems the D688 isnt available anywhere but ebay. Would be nice if they lined up...
Finally got around to getting back on the CNC, took a break to work on the race car we broke a crank on. Anyways, I could go back and write down the numbers measuring both sides of the 1-2-3 block in...
I need to go back and double check the deflection for actuation on my probe but I most definitely don't see 0.025". I see a 2-3 thou at most when comparing probing one side, flipping the part, and...
I wish there was more than 1 available but that's probably why it was so cheap then.
Nice, good to know. I figured I was going to get something chipped or used but for the price it was worth seeing. Now like a crack head after his first hit, I want more..
So I was looking online for other sources of end mills besides Lakeshore, onlinecarbide, and Maritool. Looked through YG-1s site and found a 1/2" 3fl .060" bull nose end mill that was going to be...
I rough almost everything with the tormach shear hog. 0.2-0.3 DOC, 0.2-0.3 WOC, 40-60 IPM. Variable depend on what I'm doing and to avoid a small DOC at final depth. In my applications, its the best...
After struggling through 1018 on the 1100, I found the corncob rougher to be my best friend. I can get the 4flt corner rad 3/8s coated carbide to cut fine but its just not nearly as easy-mode as...
